A poignant collection of letters written by the Latvian poet,
novelist, and newspaper editor Arsenii Formakov while interned in
Soviet labor camps Emily Johnson has translated and edited a
fascinating collection of letters written by Arsenii Formakov, a
Latvian Russian poet, novelist, and journalist, during two terms in
Soviet labor camps, 1940 to 1947 in Kraslag and 1949 to 1955 in
Kamyshlag and Ozerlag. This correspondence, which Formakov mailed
home to his family in Riga, provides readers with a firsthand
account of the workings of the Soviet penal system and testifies to
the hardships of daily life for Latvian prisoners in the Gulag.
